Linguine alle Vongole (Linguine with Clams)

*Note: Our Fresh Pasta with Caputo Semola recipe makes 10 servings while this recipe makes 4 servings. You can either scale down the pasta recipe and make it with 4 eggs and 400g Caputo Semola, or make the full amount of pasta and save the extra pasta dough for later.

1. Prepare the fresh pasta.

2. Bring salted water to a boil while preparing the sauce. 

3. In a medium skillet that has a lid, on low heat, drizzle olive oil, add the shallots, and stir.

9. Take the clams out of the pan and place them in a bowl. Optional: Deshell them. 

10. Lower the heat and add the butter.
